"It would be unrealistic for him to make this pledge," Moreno said to Hill.TV's Krystal Ball and Saagar Enjeti in an appearance on "Rising."

Discussing Barr's answers from day one of his Senate Judiciary Committee confirmation hearing, Moreno said that he thought it would be unrealistic for the nominee to make assurances of much more than being committed to "transparency."

"I think he did everything he could, which [he] said look, I am committed to transparency. The American people deserve to know after nearly two years and $20 million what this investigation has produced, and I'm not going to be the one to sit on it," Moreno said of Barr. "I don't know how much further he can go than that, and I think it's unrealistic to ask him to do so."

Barr on Tuesday did not commit to releasing Mueller's full report during his hearing, saying that he would commit "to providing as much information as I can, consistent with the regulations.”

Moreno said that Barr was able to successfully tell the committee what they needed to know about how he would handle the investigation.

"I think that there were two points that Bill Barr had to get across, and he did it right out of the gate," he said. "One is that I will let the investigation run to completion. I will not interfere with it."

"Two is I will do what I can to make sure that the special counsel's conclusions see the light of day," he continued.

An attorney representing a group of landowners suing over the President Trump's national emergency declaration said Thursday that some could lose their homes or the ability to access their property if a wall goes up on the U.S.-Mexico border.

Former acting Director of U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) John Sandweg on Thursday said that the border wall is not a “moral issue,” but rather an “important tool” to help with border security.
